I'm beginning to love auditions - sick, I know. It's a chance to perform - totally perform, sometimes for a new audience. Sharing one's passion in life is so totally amazing a priviledge. I even love the group auditions - a great chance to hear other singers - their style, their stance, their audition habits - I learn a lot.

Amahl audition - went well (need to work on total focus, though - it was weird trying to come out of that aria without the "Thief!" interruption!). Didn't get it - either due to what I need to work on, or that they simply were looking for someone else. It happens - just because someone doesn't offer you the contract doesn't mean that they don't like you. They just want mustard on their sandwich instead of mayo.
